tfaald1aSoNrg StoT ana derd1d.l
In company with Prof. S. ". Will
iams, of the Kingstree Academy, the
representative of the Star and Herald
on the evening of the 18th instant,
left Kingstree for Foreston, to attend
the entertainment given at the latter
place. It was an awfully cold ride of
fifteen miles in an open buggy, and
we arrived almost frozen. But the
plays had already begun, so We went
at once to the place. About $50 per-
sons were assembled in the building
where the stage was improvised for
the occasion, and we were soon among
them and interested in the songs, cha
rades, ETC., that we're successfully Civ
en-. The tableaux were well conceiv-
ell and presented, the vocal selections
were we'll rendered, the instrumental
music charming, and several of the
actors evinced considerable histrionic
talent in acting the parts assigned
them. Widow Bedott" was i1risisti-
BILE to any one with q soul, ana the
hard cased wretch who was so unim-
pressible as to hold out against her
charms met deserved fate when the
broomstick so promptly assisted his
exit. Our friend A. P. Mccormick,
Esq, appeared in the role Of lover, and
seemed entirely at home therein. Sew
eral others amoug the actors showed
proficiency in the art Of loyepaking
that made US think they were not ur-
acquainted with It's actual ties. Sam
DO himself could not have surpassed
the representations of his characters
tics, they were so naturally given
hut one of these might well have been
omitted. We desired to give the pro-
gram entirely, but space and time for
bid. They who arranged the enter
tainment are to be congratulated on
their success

A Brief Biographical Sketch
Of Rev. G. L. Brokaw,
the Pastor.
How He Has Built UP the
Church and Opened to-
1t a Bright Future.

" " s.; )! ;i;: ;i|::; ;i:;: =; s +; ]: !:
question often asked. A GLOBEire-
porter who had conversation with Rev.
G. l.. Brokaw concerning the faith
product of an attempt to restore the faith
and doctrine, the precepts and Ortli-
nanees, the worship and spirit of the
original apostolic church as it fiourished
before the birth of Sects and before the
introduction of speculative and mislead-
ing doctrines. While agreeing as to the
divine inspiration of the Old and New
Testaments, the Disciples differ on the
question of their equal bind
ing authority on Christians. With
them the Old Testf ment was
of authority with Jews, the New Testa-
ment is now of authority with Chris
tians. They accept the Old Testament
as true and as essential to proper un-
derstanding of the New. and as contain
ing many invaluable lessons in right,
eonsness and holiness which are of equal
preciOuSnesS under all dispensatiOns;
but as a book, of authority, to teach us
what we are to do, the New Testament
alone, as embOdying the teachings of
Christ and His apostles, is their stand
ard.
The leading aim and object of their
faith is the attainment of Christian.
union. The Christian church does not
expect other and more powerful bodies
to come to it, but surely it thinks that it
is proper for it to appeal to- them to re-
move the barriers the partisan walls of
division, the human, creeds and doc
trines and names which. prevent it from
going to them. 1t is ready and :
MILLING AND ANXIOUS f'Es@
to unite with all Christians upon the
simple basis of the essential gospel of
Christ, just as it was originally
preached. The most important figure
in this refOrmatory. movement is Alex
ander Campbell. 1t is owing to this fact
that the Disciples are sometimes called
CampbelllteS, a name which they uni
versally repudiate and resent, not for
want of affection for Mr.. Campbell, but,
witness, against them. Those who use
this name, use it from want of informa-
ton. They believe in immersion.
The whole number of communicates
in the United States is $4,000. They
have ,7S6 churches and 3,4SS ministers.
There are 12 foreign mission stations
with 20 missionaries, 12 churches and $50
ocmmunicants. There are universities,
13 colleges and 2 orphan school and nu.
